Why You Need a Financial Consent Order?

When divorcing couples reach a financial agreement, it is essential to make it legally binding. A Financial Consent Order is the document that turns your agreement into a court approved legal order. This protects both parties and prevents any future financial claims.

Without a Consent Order, even a perfectly amicable agreement could be challenged years down the line. That is why, whether you have agreed everything yourselves or reached a deal through mediation or legal advice, a Consent Order gives you real protection and certainty.

Secure a legally binding financial agreement after divorce

Avoid unnecessary court hearings and reduce legal costs

Record the division of assets including property, pensions and savings

Prevent your ex-partner from making future financial claims

Create a clean break so you can move on with peace of mind

Ensure both parties understand and commit to the agreed terms

Financial Consent Order FAQs

What is a Financial Consent Order?

A Financial Consent Order is a legal document approved by the court that formalises the financial agreement between divorcing spouses. It sets out exactly how your assets, savings, pensions and debts will be divided, and once approved, it becomes legally binding. At NJP Solicitors, our experienced Financial Consent Orders Solicitors will ensure the order is correctly drafted and fully reflects your agreement, providing long-term security for both parties.

Why do I need a Financial Consent Order if we already agree?

Even if you and your ex-partner have agreed everything amicably, that agreement is not legally binding without a court-approved Financial Consent Order. Without it, either party could change their mind or make further financial claims in the future. Our Financial Consent Orders Solicitors in Telford can help you turn your verbal or written agreement into a secure legal outcome, giving you peace of mind for the years ahead.

Can we get a Financial Consent Order without going to court?

Yes. If both of you agree on the financial terms, you will not need to attend court. Our Financial Consent Orders Solicitors will prepare the necessary documents and submit them to the court on your behalf. The judge will review the agreement to ensure it is fair before approving it. This process is usually straightforward and avoids the stress and cost of attending a court hearing.

Is a Financial Consent Order the same as a financial settlement?

Not exactly. A financial settlement is the agreement you reach with your ex about how to divide assets and finances. A Financial Consent Order is the legal document that makes that agreement official and enforceable by the court. Our Financial Consent Orders Solicitors can help you draft this document to ensure that your financial settlement carries legal weight and cannot be challenged later.

How long does it take to get a Financial Consent Order?

Once the paperwork is submitted, a Financial Consent Order typically takes four to six weeks to be approved by the court. This may vary depending on how busy the court is and whether any changes are needed. Our Financial Consent Orders Solicitors in Telford will handle the process for you, monitor progress, and keep you updated every step of the way.

Do we both need legal advice for a Financial Consent Order?

While not legally required, it is strongly recommended that both parties receive independent legal advice. Courts are more likely to approve a Financial Consent Order when it is clear that both individuals understood the terms and made the agreement freely. At NJP Solicitors, our Financial Consent Orders Solicitors provide clear, expert advice tailored to your circumstances, ensuring your order is fair, valid and enforceable.

Can pensions be included in a Financial Consent Order?

Yes, and they often should be. Pensions can be one of the most valuable assets in a marriage and should be properly accounted for in any financial settlement. Our Financial Consent Orders Solicitors will ensure your order includes the correct pension sharing provisions and is accompanied by the required Pension Sharing Annex, giving you full legal protection.

What is a clean break clause?

A clean break clause in a Financial Consent Order means that once the terms of the order are met, neither party can make further financial claims against the other. This includes claims on income, property, inheritance, or pensions. Our Financial Consent Orders Solicitors in Telford can include this provision to help you fully separate your finances and move forward without lingering obligations or uncertainty.

Can I apply for a Financial Consent Order after the divorce is final?

Yes, you can apply for a Financial Consent Order even after your divorce is complete. However, it is usually best to deal with finances during the divorce process to ensure everything is resolved together. Our Financial Consent Orders Solicitors can advise you on the best timing and guide you through the process whether you are midway through a divorce or already legally separated.

How much does a Financial Consent Order cost?

At NJP Solicitors, we offer fixed-fee services for straightforward Financial Consent Orders, giving you clarity and control over your legal costs. For more complex financial arrangements, our Financial Consent Orders Solicitors will provide a clear and transparent quote based on your specific needs, so you always know what to expect with no hidden charges.
